Definitions
- the present invention generally relates to catheters. More specifically, the present invention relates to intravascular microcatheters.
- Intravascular catheters are used to diagnose and treat a wide variety of vascular diseases in various parts of the human vasculature.
- an intravascular microcatheter having a relatively stiff proximal shaft (e.g., super elastic hypotube) for pushability and torqueability.
- the microcatheter also includes a relatively flexible distal shaft portion (e.g., coil reinforced multi-layered gradient polymer tube) for trackability.
- a transition region is provided by integrating portions of the proximal shaft and portions of the distal shaft in a manner that provides a secure connection and that minimizes profile increase. The result is a low profile microcatheter having superior response and control to navigate through tortuous vasculature to remote vascular sites.
- FIG. 1 is a schematic plan view of an intravascular microcatheter in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention
- FIG. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view taken along line 2 — 2 in FIG. 1;
- FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view taken along line 3 — 3 in FIG. 1;
- FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view taken along line 4 — 4 in FIG. 1 .
- FIG. 1 illustrates a catheter 10 in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention.
- the catheter 10 is shown in the form of an intravascular microcatheter, but the catheter 10 may comprise virtually any catheter used for intravascular applications.
- the length, profile, pushability, trackability, and other performance characteristics of the microcatheter 10 may be selected to enable intravascular insertion and navigation to the cerebral vasculature.
- the microcatheter 10 may include a relatively stiff proximal portion 12 for pushability and torqueability.
- the microcatheter 10 may also include a relatively flexible distal portion 14 for trackability.
- the proximal shaft portion 12 may comprise a super elastic alloy (e.g., nitinol) hypotube 20
- the distal shaft portion 14 may comprise a coil reinforced multi-layer tube 30 .
- a transition section 16 may be utilized as described in more detail hereinafter.
- the microcatheter 10 may include a lumen 40 (as best seen in FIGS. 2-4) extending therethrough to facilitate the delivery of fluids (e.g., thrombolytic agents, radiopaque dye, saline, drugs, etc.) therethrough, and/or to facilitate the insertion of other medical devices (e.g., occlusive coils, guide wires, balloon catheters, etc.) therethrough.
- fluids e.g., thrombolytic agents, radiopaque dye, saline, drugs, etc.
- other medical devices e.g., occlusive coils, guide wires, balloon catheters, etc.
- the microcatheter 10 may include a hub or manifold 18 connected to the proximal end of the proximal shaft portion 12 .
- the lumen 40 may extend through the entire length of the microcatheter 10 (i.e., through hub 18 , proximal shaft portion 12 , mid-shaft transition portion 16 , and distal shaft portion 14 ) to establish a path from a point outside the patient's body to a remote site within the patient's vascular system.
- proximal 12 With reference to FIGS. 2-4, the proximal 12 , distal 14 , and transition 16 sections of the shaft will be discussed in more detail.
- the proximal shaft section 12 may include a metallic hypotube 20 formed of a super elastic material such as a nickel titanium alloy, or other suitable material such as stainless steel.
- the hypotube 20 may comprise nitinol having a length of about 120-150 cm and a wall thickness of about 0.0015-0.004 inches.
- a portion of the distal end of the hypotube 20 may be removed to define one or more voids 22 .
- the voids 22 comprise a helical or spiral slot cut into the wall of the hypotube 20 utilizing a suitable process such as laser cutting.
- the helical slot 22 may have a width of about 0.0002 inches or more, and may have a pitch which varies linearly from proximal to distal to gradually reduce the stiffness of the hypotube 20 .
- the distal 60 cm may be laser cut to define a helical slot 22 , with the proximal segment having a pitch that gradually reduces from about 0.10 inches to about 0.001 inches, with the remaining distal segment having a constant/continuous pitch of about 0.001 inches.
- the pitch may gradually reduce through the distal segment as well.
- the voids 22 may comprise a variety of geometries, including without limitation, a continuous slot as shown, a series of slots or holes distributed around the circumference and length of the hypotube 20 , etc.
- the voids 22 may extend completely through the wall of the hypotube 20 or may simply form a recess therein.
- the distal shaft section 14 may include an inner liner 32 formed of a lubricious polymer such as PTFE or HDPE.
- An inner layer 34 comprising a polymer such as polyether block amide (e.g., PEBAX) may be placed over the inner liner 32 .
- the outside diameter of the inner layer 34 may be approximately 0.001 inches smaller than the inside diameter of the hypotube 20 to allow the inner liner 32 and the inner layer 34 to be disposed therein.
- the inner liner 32 and the inner layer 34 may extend through the transition region 16 of the hypotube 20 , or through the entire length of the hypotube 20 including the transition region 16 and the proximal shaft portion 12 .
- the inner liner 32 and the inner layer 34 may extend through the entire length of the hypotube 20 , with 30 cm extending beyond the distal end of the hypotube 20 .
- the same 32 / 34 may be inserted into the proximal end of the hypotube 20 and advanced until the distal end thereof extends 30 cm beyond the distal end of the hypotube 20 .
- a suitable adhesive such as cyanoacrylate may be applied to the outer surface of the proximal 10 cm of the inner layer 34 for securement to the inside surface of the proximal end of the hypotube 20 .
- the hub 18 may be connected to the proximal end of the hypotube shaft 20 .
- a reinforcement layer 36 such as a single coil, multiple coils, or multiple interwoven coils (i.e., a braid) may be disposed over the combined inner liner 32 and inner layer 34 extending beyond the distal end of the hypotube 20 .
- the reinforcement layer may comprise round wire or rectangular ribbon wire, for example.
- a proximal portion of the reinforcement layer 36 may be disposed in the voids 22 to provide a secure, low profile connection to the distal end of the hypotube 20 , and to prevent migration of the reinforcement layer 36 .
- the reinforcement layer 36 comprises a single coil and the voids 22 define a helical slot, the coil 36 may be wound into one or more of the distal slots.
- portions of the distal composite shaft section 30 may be disposed in the voids 22 in addition to or in place of the coils 36 .
- a portion of the inner layer 34 and/or outer layer 38 may be disposed in the voids 22 to modify or enhance the connection between the distal composite shaft 30 and the proximal hypotube shaft 20 .
- An outer layer 38 formed of a suitable polymeric material may then be placed over the transition region 16 and the distal shaft section 14 , and optionally over the proximal shaft section 12 as well.
- the outer layer 38 may extend from a point 24 on the hypotube 20 proximal of the spiral cut 22 to the terminal end of the combined inner liner 32 , inner layer 34 , and coil reinforcement layer 36 .
- the outer layer may be formed of a flexible polymer such as polyether block amide (e.g., PEBAX), and may have a gradual transition in flexibility as provided by the gradient extrusion process described in co-pending patent application Ser. No.
- the outer layer 38 may comprise a polyether block amide (e.g., PEBAX) polymer tube formed by gradient extrusion, with a durometer transitioning from 55D to 25D from proximal to distal.
- the gradient transition in the outer layer 38 provides superior flexibility, response, and control, while contributing to the smooth transition 16 from the relatively stiff proximal section 12 to the relatively flexible distal section 14 .
- the outer layer 38 may comprise a polymer tube having a continuous durometer, or a series of connected polymer tubes having different durometers.
- an intravascular microcatheter 10 having a relatively stiff proximal hypotube shaft 20 for pushability and torqueability, and a relatively flexible distal composite shaft 30 for trackability.
- a transition region 16 is provided by integrating portions of the proximal shaft (e.g., spiral cut 22 portion of the hypotube 20 ) and portions of the distal shaft (e.g., coil reinforcement 36 ) in a manner that provides a secure connection and that minimizes profile increase.
